  • Another Record Year on the Horizon

    The bar keeps rising, and the industry continues to clear it, with a third consecutive annual record for publicly announced senior care M&A activity appearing well within reach. Through the first five months of the year, the industry has averaged 81 publicly announced deals per month. Annualized, that pace would result in just under 1,000... Read More »
  • Northstar Senior Living and Alta Senior Living Merge

    In the mad dash for growth in the seniors housing sector, a lack of new development and an abundance of buyers crowding certain corners of the M&A market has led some owner/operators to seek acquisitions or mergers of whole management companies. It can certainly be a viable alternative that allows one to grow without a massive capital... Read More »

Distressed AL/MC Community Gets New Owner

Distressed AL/MC Community Gets New Owner

Scott Frazier, Kory Buzin and Steve Thomes of Blueprint advised a special servicer in the seniors housing sector on the sale of Spanish Vines, a well-maintained assisted living/memory care community. It sits in a densely populated Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood of southwest Sacramento, California. The 88-unit community was generating negative EBITDAR across all trailing periods, with month-over-month census, RevPOR and expenses fluctuating materially as operations worked towards stabilization. The asset benefitted from its infill location and recently renovated physical plant. Blueprint also underwrote an alternative path to upside through California’s Assisted Living Waiver program,...

A Flurry of Deals Cross the Finish Line

A Flurry of Deals Cross the Finish Line

As part of Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s nine separate closings at the start of May, there were a couple of skilled nursing sales. First, Nick Cacciabando and Matthew Alley represented a local group of investors in the sale of a 60-bed skilled nursing facility in Ottumwa, Iowa. The investor group operated the facility themselves, and it was 95% occupied with a solid 12% margin on $6.715 million of revenues.  Vista Woods Care Center was built in 1993 and is one of the newer facilities in southeast Iowa. It also held a CCRC license in relation to an adjacent seniors housing community. Emerging from an active bidding environment was a California-based investor, which paid $6.35... Read More »
Investor Group Buys Naples Community

Investor Group Buys Naples Community

A group of investors picked up a value-add seniors housing community in Naples, Florida. Built in 1999, North Haven Senior Living features 132 units of assisted living and memory care. It appears that Brookdale Senior Living previously operated the community, which showed very well and did not require much in terms of capex. We understand that occupancy improved significantly during the sale process, as well. Silver Wave Capital announced the purchase (its sixth overall), along with lead investor Persimmon Ventures and operating partner Senior Living Asset Management, which will take over management of the community. Ten other seniors housing investors participated in the deal, including... Read More »
Brookdale’s Uneven Recovery

Brookdale’s Uneven Recovery

Brookdale Senior Living has been going through some major changes in the last year, so naturally its recovery could be a little uneven, with the hope of more long-term growth and stability. They have a new CEO, COO and a new operational structure, in addition to exiting more than 100 communities in the last year. But the mixed bag of results can be frustrating from shareholders’ point of view, especially as they see a disconnect between Brookdale’s anemic performance and headlines on strong sector fundamentals, healthy and rising occupancy levels across the sector and in most Brookdale markets, and appealing opportunities for growth. Plus, it is on top of many years of underperformance to... Read More »
